Scientists at Cambridge have demonstrated a new method for potentially fighting a form of leukemia, by targeting overactive enzymes that can lead to the disease. If the results of mice tests carry ...

As it was not possible to narrow the search down to specific enzyme classes, hundreds of possible candidates would normally have had to be tested for activity. However, thanks to a collaboration with ...

One of the most revolutionary discoveries of the century, the CRISPR gene-editing system is built on a bacterial defense mechanism that allows scientists to make precise edits to DNA. Now scientists ...

The research team identified an enzyme called SCoR2 that removes nitric oxide from proteins that control fat buildup in the ...

Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions in living organisms. They are essential for life, as they play a crucial role in various biological processes, such as digestion, ...

Researchers from Queen Mary University of London’s School of Biological and Behavioural Sciences, using the simple fission yeast as a model, have shown that new TOR inhibitor rapalink-1 prolongs ...

Enzymes are amazing catalysts. These proteins are made of nothing more than a handful of Earth-abundant elements, and they promote a vast array of reactions, convert chemical energy to physical motion ...
